Throwback Thursday Post (even though it is Friday….)

Katie Stowe sent me this great 1973 photo of her and her first Great Dane. I have been meaning to post it on a Thursday and title it “Throwback Thursday”, but I always seem a day late. So what the heck, I am just posting it today and you all please just pretend it is Thursday and enjoy this cute photo. Also see the other posts of “General” who is Katie’s 6/12 year old boy she adopted from us. What a great dog he is!

General who seems to love just about anyone!

Violet and Balou and Tony too!

Tony Rovegno sent these great photos of his kids, Violet and Balou. Violet was adopted as a puppy from us (one of the very few we ever get in) and then Tony came back for Balou. Quite a blue matched set! Come meet Tony and Violet at the donation barbecue on September 3rd. e!

Ellie and Stella

Here are two cute photos sent to us by Jill and here is what she said: “The girls have settled in and seem happy. We are certainly happy. They are good through the night and they play during the day. They love to choose from the toy basket. Jack loves that they like to play. He’s never seen two big dogs play and jump around like they do. So glad now I did not separate them. They get along so well. It melts everyone’s heart to see Stella rest her head on Ellie when they are relaxing. Pretty sweet.”

Stella, Ellie and the Injured Deer

We recently received this photo from Jill and Ron who adopted Stella and Ellie from us. Here is the accompanying text:

“Oh! I wanted to tell you the girls were playing in the yard and my husband Ron notice that all of a sudden there were three animals, instead of the two. He looked closer aand realized it was a deer! The deer was clearly not enjoying the “fun” as the girls were. He was just their size too! Ron got the girls inside the house and called the wildlife rescue who came out and collected the injured deer. It was quite the neighborhood excitement though. All the neighbors were lined up along our fence as the event unfolded.”

We asked for further clarification from Jill as to whom injured the deer….the girls or something else. Ron said the girls were trying to play nicely with an already injured deer. Good to know!

“To All Who Only Want To Adopt A Great Dane Under Two Years Old”

Be care what you ask for! Everyone wants a less than two year old Great Dane. Remember they are still pretty much a puppy up to two years and some can be destructive (see photos above). Crates are used as a training tool, not to contain your Dane for long periods to protect your home. Cages are for gerbils and hamsters! If you are not home enough to train a puppy, please don’t pass on a Dane older than two.

(Thanks to Karen for posting this with the accompanying photos of Michael and Ellie….and Karen was only gone for 30 minutes!)
